How to connect the account to Stash

It's the same information as from the pinned message, but for completeness, it's worth adding.

Based on Scruffy suggestion.

This came up not too long ago from someone else following the guide, but I still feel like we should try to avoid repeating ourselves as much as we can. Having our documentation split across half a dozen places and trying to keep all of them up to date every time we change something is a big part of the confusion already. I think we need those instructions here already because this is where the invite codes are and this is where you ask Infinite for the edit role. So I decided to skip those details in the guide so we would only need to update them in one place for once.

I think the opposite is true. Invite codes are pinned in the first message and most people will never scroll down to the bottom if the keys at the top work. So they will never even see there is a second pinned message. Then they ask for help and will be directed to the same pinned messages again.

And I agree generally with you that having to update multiple places is a big headache, the instructions for creating an account are pretty constant.

If the instructions would have existed in their current form, they would have needed to be updated twice. First, when preferences changed to settings and second when the Discord channel name changed from stashbox-invites to stashdb-invites. It's a good record of consistency in my view.

I expanded the new instructions section with a little more detail. I also adjusted the formatting a little because it was a bit inconsistent: limiting code to snippets that users are expected to copy and using bold for everything else that users are asked to find.

I'm not at my desktop so I can't build a local preview first to test everything, but I'm not too worried about merging it as-is. We can fix any inconsistencies that pop up later if we need to.
